Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 cup powdered sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 1\/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/2 cup sweetened condensed milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 oz semi-sweet or white chocolate chips<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prepare the Coconut Mixture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mix until the ingredients come together to form a sticky dough-like consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shape the Balls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Refrigerate the coconut balls for 30-45 minutes, or until firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melt the Chocolate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dip the Balls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled coconut ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set the Chocolate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the chocolate-covered balls set at room temperature, or place them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serve and Enjoy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transfer the coconut cream balls to a serving dish or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus chilling time)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
